Val brought her youngest little guy over this morning and I looked after him for a few hours while Val got some peace and quiet at home in which to wrap gifts and get caught up with things. 'I' was so easy to look after - he LOVED playing with my big bowl of red shiny Christmas baubles that I have by the fire....they are plastic and tough so the boys were having great fun with them! Abigail spent the morning playing on the computer and the boys played with the balls, toy cars and the blocks....the time seemed to pass really fast and I just pottered about while the children played...
Lloyd was hoping to finish work early but it doesn't look as though that will happen, so he will probably finish just before 4pm again.....then he is off until january 2nd YAY!!!
I chatted to my Mom and Dad on the phone this morning...thankfully my Moms main gifft has arrived safely - but the big package I sent from Canada is still not there - and that has their little gifts as well as some crackers that Abigail made for them to pull on Christmas Day and also the cards for everyone....so I hope it arrives safely by Monday! I posted it a week BEFORE the last mailing date, so it should have been there by now :( I hope it didn't get lost :(
We are still waiting for one more parcel to arrive from my Mom too....which has gifts for Lloyd and I in it - so hopefully that will be there today!
The kids will be home from school soon - no doubt very excited after their last day at school - full of sugar from endless candy probably too! Christmas can really start now :)
